Lonely Planet review

On the north side of Tegucigalpa is Parque Naciones Unidas El Picacho (United Nations Park), established to commemorate the UN's 40th anniversary. Besides excellent views of the city, there's a soccer field where games are held on Sunday, and a somewhat decrepit zoo with its own entrance fee. The road passes some of the capital's most exclusive real estate.

The park is located about 6km from the center of town, up a winding road past some of the capital's most exclusive real estate (the US Ambassador's residence, for one). On Sundays, buses leave from behind Iglesia Los Dolores all the way to the park gates.
